yeah, cause Marvel is so good, historically (I will admit they have been doing a better job in the last year, now if we can get them to use a numbering system that makes sense), at keeping things in print. That is why there are all kinds of Marvel Trades that sell for stupid amounts of money on ebay, when the issues are plentiful and cheap.

Yeah, but none of that stuff has a movie tie-in to promote. Something like Transformers that could be a consistent seller while there is a movie coming out every 2-3 years would stay in print. I'm talking mostly about the bookstore market here rather than the direct market of course.

hey, that shit sells here too. In fact until the first movie came out we kept a full run of the Titan runs on the shelf, then that stuff became impossible to find or reorder.
